Given the mechanical carnage in Jerez this week tires have not received a lot of coverage, but nevertheless it was an important test for Pirelli as the company had its first chance to run with the new cars, and in both wet and dry conditions.

Felipe Massa was quickest for Williams on the final day of the opening 2014 F1 test in Jerez.

Rain for the first half of the day gave drivers the chance to get in wet running, but conditions were better later on. However, a series of red flags disrupted progress, and in effect the overall times were meaningless.
